Import the WebView
component from react-native-webview
and use it like so:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';
// ...
class MyWebComponent extends Component {
render() {
return <WebView source={{ uri: 'https://reactnative.dev/' }} />;
}
}

- If you're getting
Invariant Violation: Native component for "RNCWebView does not exist"
it likely means you forgot to runreact-native link
or there was some error with the linking process - If you encounter a build error during the task
:app:mergeDexRelease
, you need to enable multidex support inandroid/app/build.gradle
as discussed in this issue
